2025 Institute of Physics Kelvin Gold Medal winners

Last night the NUSTEM team were delighted to receive the 2025 William Thompson, Lord Kelvin Gold Medal from the Institute of Physics at an event hosted at The Oval, London. The citation read:

For pioneering new methodologies and pedagogies in physical sciences outreach and engagement, taking a nuanced, long-term approach to supporting children’s physics and career identity across North East England and beyond.

The news has been out for a little while – see the Institute’s page, the news release from Northumbria University, and this BBC story.

Our thanks to everyone who’s supported us, worked and collaborated with us, and joined us on our journey over the last ten years. We’re honoured and proud to win this prestigious award, joining the list of previous winners, which includes several individuals and organisations who’ve inspired us over the years.
